Civility - A New Board Game

My brother and his best friend just launched their Kickstarter for the board game they've been working on. I'm not enough of a table top game enthusiast to describe it properly, so I'll just link you to their Kickstarter page where there is explanation aplenty. All I can say is that I've played it a few times now and it's a lot of fun. I wouldn't ask anyone for more than they can afford but even spreading the word and checking it out can go a long way, thanks for at least taking a look guys!

I was really hoping you'd make a cameo appearance. But I like the game. Does the 29K include R&D, self-salary, in-house or factory production, patent and trademarks, etc? Or does it encompass something else?

As far as I know, the goal is to cover production and shipping costs with Panda. They've been fine tuning and balancing the game for months now, so I don't think there's anymore R&D to do. As far as anything else, I honestly haven't a clue.

From the Kickstarter page,

We really wanted a lower funding goal but the $29,000 needed is the lowest amount it takes to get 1500 units produced (the minimum allowed), to ship from the factory to us, and then to ship from us to you.

Hypothetically, if they have no overhead and fees (unlikely), it costs them $19.30 to produce one unit. Now for them to wholesale it, a decent figure would be $25. Then for retailers, they'd have to sell anywhere from $35 and up. It would be better to produce more inventory at the factory so they can reduce their unit cost. It is a board game and I don't know what kind of money people would dish out in this craponomy.
